SURV455 Statutory Planning B

Research and practice for the preparation and presentation of resource consent applications
(notification requirements, assessments of environmental effects and public participation)
under the Resource Management Act 1991; the functions, roles and decisions of the
Environment Course and the Environmental Protection Authority.

The objective of the paper is to extend the learning of the Statutory Planning papers
and to enable students to synthesise the knowledge gained in these papers so that
they are adequately educated to prepare resource consent applications under the supervision
of an experienced practitioner. It is expected that students will place reliance
on their own resources for researching the necessary information and utilise the knowledge
they have gained previously. Through a series of seminars they will be introduced
to a series of individuals who have experience with different aspects of the consent
process to expose them to the varying perspectives on the resource consent process
from the professional private practitioner to the Environment Court.

The core background knowledge required includes an understanding of the law and legal
and legislative processes, the specifics of the purposes and processes of the Resource
Management Act and research, writing and presenting skills.

This paper provides
vital experience and practice of resource consent planning as required of a professional
land development surveyor.

This paper is a research-based course rather than a taught course. Class time will
be a minor component of the learning opportunities. The majority of the course time
will be discussion time, group-based and individual research, extensive reading (including
critique, preparing notes and presentations) and writing a research essay.
